Snow screen
VERY COLD CLIMATE SCREEN
I f fi t t e d o n y o u r v e h i c l e , t h i s i s a removable part which permits complete or partial covering of the front air intake (grille, ...) to favour the increase in the engine temperature when driving in very low temperatures and to prevent the entry of snow into the engine compartment.
FITTING
-
Offer up the screen facing its centring pin A on the front bumper.
- Put it in place by pressing at each clip B located in the four corners.
REMOVAL
-
Pass a screwdriver into the hole located near each of the clips.
- Use the screwdriver as a lever to unclip the four clips B in turn.
When the snow has cleared, do not forget to remove the very cold climate screen.
